If you Google “farming in November,” you will find lots of interesting descriptors: a time of transitions, a time for gleaning, a time to take stock. At Holcomb Farm, our strategic focus on “growing the growing season” means that while the last CSA summer share has been distributed, and the retail farm store has closed for the year, the farming continues.

Help us provide food to families in need

November is typically when we hold our annual Harvest Dinner and Silent Auction, our single largest fundraiser in support of Fresh Access, through which Holcomb Farm grows and distributes produce to people in need in Granby and the greater Hartford Region. But, of course, there is nothing typical about 2020: so, no Harvest Dinner fundraiser this year.

Word of caution

In the race for Connecticut House 62nd District, Audrey Lampert’s opponent Mark Anderson says he is a “compassionate conservative.” But he is not being up front about his very close association with a radical organization, the CT Republican Assembly, a private group not associated with Connecticut government (ctra.us).
